2.5 TRANSDUCER WIRING DIAGRAM The connection wire for Version 7.5 flow meter is high frequency twisted pair. This is determined by balanced transmission and receiving in the circuit. The advantage of using high frequency twisted pair is that it can improve the anti-jamming function. If the single shield common high frequency cable is used, the function of the instrument will be decreased. If the disturbance signal is strong, the instrument cannot work smoothly. It is recommended that specialized cables be used under most circumstances. The loss of the specialized cables is small, and the antijamming function works well to make sure that the instrument can work smoothly.

Another way to enter menu window is to press and keys. For example, if the current window is 66, the display will go to the number 65 window after pressing the key, and then 64 after pressing the key again. The window address code is arranged in certain order (please refer to next section and explanation of window for details). The user does not have to remember them all. The user need to remember the common window address and the approximate position of the uncommon windows. The user can go to the adjacent window temporarily, and then go to the target window by pressing and keys. After all, the combination of fast way and and keys makes it easy and convenient to go to the window. There are three different types of menu windows: Menu windows for number entering, like M11 for the entering of pipe outer diameter. Menu windows for option selection/selecting options, like M14 for the selection of pipe materials. Displaying windows only, like M01, M00. For number entering windows, the user can check the relevant parameters. The user can press the digit keys first and then the key when the user is going to modify the value. The user can also press key for confirmation. For example, the user wants to enter 219.2345 as the pipe outer diameter, the user can go into window 11 by pressing .

2.11 MEASUREMENT LOCATION SELECTION When selecting a measurement location, it is important to select an area where the fluid flow profile is fully developed to guarantee a highly accurate measurement. Use the following guidelines when selecting a proper measurement installation
location: Choose a section of pipe, which is always full of liquid, such as a vertical pipe with flow in the upward direction or a full horizontal pipe. The location should have a straight pipe run length equal to at least 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream from any throttling valves or other flow disturbance producing elements, such as pipe reducers, elbows, tees, etc. Ensure that the pipe surface temperature at the measuring point is within the transducer temperature limits. Consider the inside condition of the pipe carefully. If possible, select a section of pipe where the inside is free excessive corrosion or scaling. Choose a section of sound conducting pipe. Examples acceptable measurement location selection are illustrated on the figures 11 and 12.

2.13 TRANSDUCERS INSTALLATION Before installing the transducer, pay attention to the following:
the data displayed in Window No.25 and space the transducers accordingly.
2.13.1 CLAMP ON TRANSDUCER Before the installation, clean the pipe surface where the transducers are to be mounted. Remove any rust, scale or loose paint and make a smooth surface. Choose a section of sound conducting pipe for installing the transducers. Apply a wide band of sonic coupling agent down the center of the face of each transducer as well as on the pipe surface, and then attach the transducers to the pipe with the straps provided and tighten them securely. During the installation, there should be no air bubbles or particles between the transducer and the pipe wall. On horizontal pipes, the transducers should be mounted in the 3 oclock and 9 oclock positions of the pipe section in order to avoid any air bubbles that may be present in the top portion of the pipe. If the transducers cannot be mounted horizontally symmetrically due to limitation of space, it may be necessary to mount the transducers at a location where there is a guarantee full pipe condition (the pipe is always full of liquid).
EUROSONIC 2000
2.13.1.2.1 V METHOD The V method is considered as the standard method. It usually gives a more accurate reading and is used on pipe diameters ranging from 15mm to 400mm approximately. Also, it is convenient to use, but still requires proper installation of the transducer, contact on the pipe at the pipes centerline and equal spacing on either side of the centerline.
SIDE VIEW
2.13.1.2.2 Z METHOD The signal transmitted in a Z method installation has less attenuation than a signal transmitted with the V method. This is because the Z method utilizes a directly transmitted (rather than reflected) signal which transverses the liquid only once. The Z method is able to measure on pipe diameters ranging from 100 to 6000mm. Therefore, we recommend the Z method for pipe diameters over 200mm.

2.13.1.2.3 N METHOD (not commonly used) With the N method, the sound waves traverse the fluid twice and bounces three times off the pipe walls. It is suitable for small pipe diameter measurement. The measurement accuracy may be improved by extending the transit distance using the N method.
SIDE VIEW
2.13.1.2.4 W METHOD (very rarely used) As with the N method, the measurement accuracy can also be improved by extending the transit distance with the W method. The sound wave traverses the fluid four times and bounces three times off the pipe walls. It is suitable for very small pipe (diameters less than 50mm).

2.13.2 INSERTION TRANSDUCER The insertion transducer combines the advantage of clamp on transducer and flow tube transducer. Its features are: 1. It solves the problems of weak signal or abnormal measurement of the transducer when there is thick stain or rust in the pipe. It can also be installed on the cement pipes (the user should measure the actual outer diameter of the pipe and order the pliers from the manufacturers). 2. Specialized drilling tool can be used, and the transducer can be installed without stopping the water flow. It guarantees the normal operation of production and water does not have to be stopped in maintenance. 3. The ultrasonic launching crystal of the transducer can contact the liquid measured, which improves the precision of measurement and the stability of the instrument. 4. It is more economical and precise in pipes with large diameters compared with electromagnetic flow meter.

2.13.2.3.2 WELDING THE BASE OF BALL VALUE Base of the ball valve can be welded to the outer wall of the pipe directly if the pipe material can be welded (like steel or PVC). The surface of the pipe should be cleaned before welding. No air hole should be there before welding in case it leaks or breaks. To those materials which cannot be welded like cast iron or cement pipe, special pipe clamp (with rubber mat for sealing) should be used. The base of ball valve has been welded on the clamp, and it can be fastened to the pipe. The center of the ball valve should be attached to Point A and B. The base of the ball valve should be fastened to the outer wall of the pipe, and sealed well in case it leaks. The next step is to wrap polytetrafluoroethylene stripe around the base and screw the ball valve (see Figure 24).

2.14.1 SIGNAL STRENGTH Signal strength (displayed in Window M90) indicates a detected strength of the signal both from upstream and downstream directions. The relevant signal strength is indicated by numbers from 00.0~99.9 in the EUROSONIC 2000 00.0 represents no signal detected while 99.9 represents maximum signal strength. Normally, the stronger the signal strength detected, the longer the operation of the instrument reliably, as well as the more stable the measurement value obtained. Adjust the transducer to the best position and check to ensure that enough sonic coupling compound is applied adequately during installation in order to obtain the maximum signal strength. System normally requires signal strength over 60.0, which is detected from both upstream and downstream directions. If the signal strength detected is too low, the transducer installation position and the transducer mounting spacing should be re-adjusted and the pipe should be re-inspected. If necessary, change the mounting to the Z method.
2.13.2.3.5 MAINTENANCE It is easy to repair the transducer. The user can follow the reverse installation procedure, unfasten the transducer and then insert the new one.
2.13.3 FLOW TUBE TRANSDUCER For the mounting of the meter on site, the pipe needs to be cut apart and the transducers are flange connected (The initial parameters have been set up in factory).
2.14 INSTALLATION CHECKUP Check to see if the transducer is installed properly and if there is an accurate and strong enough ultrasonic signal to ensure proper operation and high reliability of the transducer. It can be confirmed by checking the detected signal strength, total transit time, delta time as well as transit time ratio. The mounting condition directly influences the flow value accuracy and system long-time running reliability. In most instances, only apply a wide bead of sonic coupling compound lengthwise on the face of the transducer and stick it to the outside pipe wall to get good measurement results. However, the following inspections still need to be carried out in order to ensure the high reliability of the measurement and long-term operation of the instrument.
2.14.2 SIGNAL QUALITY (Q VALUE) Signal quality is indicated as the Q value (in M90) in the instrument. 00-99 is adopted in EUROSONIC 2000 to indicate the signal quality. 00 refers to the lowest quality, while 99 is the best quality. 60.0 is required in most cases. Causes for a lower Q value could be: interference, bad installation of the transducer, using bad-quality unspecialized signal cables. The user can adjust the transducer or check the coupler to get better quality.

EUROSONIC 2000
2.14.3 TOTAL TRANSIT TIME AND DELTA TIME The numbers displayed on menu window M93 are called total transit time and delta time respectively. They are the primitive data for the instrument to calculate the flow rate inside the pipe. If delta time fluctuates too much, the displayed flow volume and flow rate will fluctuate, which means the signal quality is bad. It may be caused by the pipe, the bad installation of the transducer or the wrong parameters input. Generally, the delta time should fluctuate within 20%. If the pipe diameter is too small or flow rate is too low, the delta time will fluctuate.
2.14.4 TIME RATIO BETWEEN THE MEASURED TOTAL TRANSIT TIME AND THE CALCULATED TIME This ratio would be used to check the transducer installation. If the pipe parameters are entered correctly and the transducers are installed properly, the value for this ratio should be in the range of 1003. It can be seen in M91.If this range is exceeded, the user should check: 1. If the pipe parameters (outer diameter of the pipe, thickness of the wall, pipe materials etc) are correctly entered. 2. If the actual spacing of the transducers is right and the same as what the window M25 shows. 3. If the transducers are installed properly in the right directions. 4. If the mounting location is good and if the pipe has changed shape or if there is too much fouling inside the pipes.
2. During the installation, apply enough coupling compounds in order to stick the transducer onto the pipe wall. While checking the signal strength and Q value, move the transducer slowly around the mounting site until the strongest signal and maximum Q value can be obtained. Make sure that the larger the pipe diameter, the more the transducer should be moved. Check to be sure the mounting spacing is accordance with the display in Window M25 and the transducer is mounted at the pipes centerline on the same diameter. Pay special attention to those pipes that formed by steel rolls (pipe with seams), since such pipe is always irregular. If the signal strength is always displayed as 0.00, that means there is no signal detected. Thus, it is necessary to check that the parameters (including all the pipe parameters) have been entered accurately. Check to be sure the transducer mounting method has been selected properly, the pipe is not worn-out, and the liner is not too thick. Make sure there is there is indeed fluid in the pipe or the transducer is not very close to a valve or elbow, and there are not too many air bubbles in the fluid, etc. With the exception of these reasons, if there is still no signal detected, the measurement site has to be changed. 3. Make sure that the flowmeter is able to run properly with high reliability. The stronger the signal strength displayed, the higher the Q value reached. The longer the flowmeter runs accurately, the higher the reliability of the flow rates displayed. If there is interference from ambient electromagnetic waves or the signal detected is too poor, the flow value displayed is not reliable; consequently, the capability for reliable operation is reduced. 4. After the installation is complete, power on the instrument and check the result accordingly.
2.14.5 PROBLEMS TO BE NOTED IN INSTALLATION 1. Pipe parameters entered must be accurate; otherwise the flowmeter will not work properly.

3.2 HOW TO JUDGE THE LIQUID FLOWING DIRECTION 1. Make sure that the instrument works properly. 2. If the transducer connected to the upper side of the flow meter plate is A, and the one connected to the lower side is B. 3. Check the flow rate for the indication. If the displayed value is POSITIVE, the direction of the flow will be from A to B; if the displayed value is NEGATIVE, the direction will be from B to A.
3.5 HOW TO USE THE TOTALIZER MULTIPLIER Totalizer multiplier is used to expand the indication range of the totalizer. Use window M33 to select a proper totalizer. The selected multiplier applies in positive, negative and net totalizer.
3.6 HOW TO OPEN OR SHUT THE TOTALIZERS M34 is available to turn net totalizer on and off net. M35 is available to turn the positive totalizer on and off, while M36 is for the negative totalizer. Select YES to activate the totalizer and NO to deactivate the totalizer. The user can select the positive, negative and net totalizer according to their requirements of flow data.

3.9 HOW TO USE THE DAMPER The damping function will stabilize the flow display. Essentially, it is a part of the signal filter. Enter a coefficient in Window No.40. Increasing the
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
coefficient increases the stability. However, the measurement displayed may be slightly delayed due to over damping. Logging too long may result in no response to real-time fluctuation, especially when flow rate fluctuates wildly. Therefore, damping should be kept at a minimum and increased just enough to reduce the fluctuation to an acceptable degree by 3 to 10 seconds. This window is for data input. After entering the window, input the coefficient, then press the key to confirm.
3.10 HOW TO USE THE ZERO-CUTOFF FUNCTION The data displayed in M40 is called the low flow cutoff value. If the flow rate falls below the low flow cutoff value, the flow indication is driven to zero. This function can prevent the flowmeter from reading flow after a pump as shut down but there is still liquid movement in the pipe, which will result in totalizing error. Generally, 0.03m/s is recommended to enter as the low flow cutoff point. The low flow cutoff value has no relation to the measurement results once the velocity increases over the low flow cutoff value.
from zero point be ignored. For an ultrasonic flowmeter, the measurement difference from zero point cannot be ignored at low flow. It is necessary to perform a zero set calibration to improve low flow measurement accuracy. Press the keys to ensure that the fluid is definitely at a static state (true zero) and the key and flowmeter is working properly. Press the wait until the counter readings displayed in the lower right corner of the screen goes to 00; thus, the zero set is completed and the instrument indicates the results automatically through Window No.01. Repeat zero set calibration if it still needs to be minimized, i.e. the velocity reading is still high.
3.12 HOW TO GET A SCALE FACTOR FOR CALIBRATION A scale factor is the ratio between the actual flow rate and the indicated value by the flow meter. Scale factor refers to the ratio between actual value and reading value. For instance, when the measurement is 2.00, and it is indicated as 1.98 on the instrument, the scale factor reading is 2/1.98. This means that the best scale factor constant is 1. However, it is difficult to keep the scale factor as 1 on the instrument especially in batch control operations. The difference is called consistency. High quality products always require high consistency. The scale factor default is 1 for each instrument prior to shipment from the factory. The reason is that the scale factors in EUROSONIC 2000 flow meter are only limited by two parameters, i.e. the crystal oscillation frequency and the transducer. It has no relation to any circuit parameters. During operation, there still exists possible difference in pipe parameters, etc. The scale factor may be necessary when used on different pipes. Thus, scale factor calibration is specially designed for calibrating
EUROMAG | 31
3.11 HOW TO SETUP A ZERO POINT Once zero flow occurs, a zero point may indicated on each measuring instrument, i.e. as the measurement value reaches zero flow, it is indicated as zero. It is necessary to establish the true zero flow condition and program that set point into the instrument. If the zero set point is not at true zero flow, a measurement difference may occur. The smaller the physical measurement capacity is, the larger the measurement difference from the zero point will exist. Only when zero point reduced to a definite degree, as compared with the physical measurement capacity, can the measuring difference

3.16 4~20MA CURRENT LOOP VERIFICATION Possessing a current loop output exceeding an accuracy of 0.1%, the EUROSONIC 2000 is programmable and configurable with multiple output modules such as 4 ~20mA or 0~20mA. Select in M55. For details, please refer to Windows Display Explanations. In M56, enter a 4mA flow value. Enter the 20mA flow value in M57. For instance, if the flow range in a specific pipe is 0~1000m3/h, enter 0 in M56 and 1000 in M57. If the flow ranges from -1000~0~2000m3/ h, configure the 20~4~20mA (module by selecting M55) when flow direction is not an issue. Enter 1000 in M56 and 2000 in M57. When flow direction is an issue, module 0~4~20mA is available. When the flow direction displays as negative, the current output is in range of 0~4mA, whereas the 4~20mA is for the positive direction. The output module options are displayed in M55. Enter -1000 in M56 and 2000 in M57. Calibrating and testing the current loop is performed in Window M58.

0mA, 4mA, 8mA, 16mA, 20mA readings, connect an ammeter to test the current loop output and calculate the difference. Calibrate it if the difference is within tolerance. If not, calibrating the current loop is to be found in Section 3.36 in this chapter. Check the present current loop output in M59 as it changes along with change in flow.
3.19 HOW TO USE THE TOTALIZER PULSE OUTPUT Each time the EUROSONIC 2000 ultrasonic flowmeter reaches a unit flow, it may generate a totalizer pulse output to an remote counter. To configure the unit flow, please refer to 3.4 and 3.5. The totalizer pulse output can be transmitted through OCT or a relay. So, it is necessary to configure OCT and the relay accordingly. Please refer to M78 and M79. For instance, if it is necessary to transmit the positive totalizer pulse through a relay, and each pulse represents a flow of 0.1m3, the configuration is as follows: 1. In M33, select totalizer the flow unit Cubic Meters m3; 2. In M34, select the scale factor 2. x0.1; 3. In M79, select 9. Positive totalizer pulse output; Note: Make sure to select a suitable totalizer pulse, since the output may be extended if it is too large. If it is too small, the relay may activate too frequently and may probably shorten its life. Furthermore, if it operates too fast, it may generate a pulse loss error. Therefore, a rate of 1~60/minute is recommended.
3.17 HOW TO OUTPUT SIMULATIVE VOLTAGE SIGNAL Parallel a 250~ electric resistance on terminal 21 and 22 of the current loop, which can alternate 4~20mA to 1~5V and then output them.
3.18 HOW TO USE THE FREQUENCY OUTPUT The EUROSONIC 2000 flow meter is provided with a frequency output transmitter function. The high or low frequency output displayed indicates the high or low flow rate readings. The user can reset the frequency output as well as flow rate per his requirements For instance: if a pipe flow range is 0~3000m3/h, the relative frequency output required is 123~1000Hz, and the configuration is as follows: In M68 (low limit frequency output flow value), input 0; In M69 (high limit frequency output flow value), input 3000; In M67 (low limit frequency), input 123; (high limit frequency), input 1000. There is no output circuit specially assigned to frequency output. It only can be transmitted through OCT, i.e. select item 13 in M78 (item 13. FO). The connecting method should be referred to in 2.4 fixed Standard EUROSONIC 2000F1.
3.20 HOW TO PRODUCE AN ALARM SIGNAL The EUROSONIC 2000 ultrasonic flow meter has two programmable alarms: audible alarm and on off output alarm. The audible alarm generates an internal beeper. Select the buzzer trigger in M77. The on-off output alarm is generated through OCT or transmission to an external circuit by opening or closing a relay. The on-off output signal is activated under the following conditions: Signal not detected; Poor signal detected; The flow meter is not ready for normal

The user can program the open and close functions under the following conditions: the system alarm signals are being activated or the totalizer pulse is being transmitted. The frequency output signal is also transmitted from the OCT. When it functions as the frequency output, other functions are unavailable. The frequency output signal is transmitted from terminals 61 and 62. Terminal 61is the collector while 62 is the emitter-collector circuit. Be careful of the polarity during connection. The connecting method can be referred to in EUROSONIC 2000-F1. For details, please refer to M78.
3.23 RELAY OUTPUT The relay output in the EUROSONIC 2000 ultrasonic flow meter is programmable.

ERROR DIAGNOSIS
5. ERROR DIAGNOSIS
The EUROSONIC 2000 ultrasonic flow meter has adopted high reliability design and there are few errors. Sometimes problems may occur due to unskilled operation, wrong setting or harsh working environment. Therefore, it has an advanced self-diagnosis function to display the errors in the upper right corner of the LCD via definite codes in a date/time order. Hardware error diagnoses are usually performed upon each power on. Some errors can be detected during normal operation. Undetectable errors caused by incorrect settings and unsuitable measurement conditions can be displayed accordingly. This function helps to detect the errors and determine causes during good times; thus, problems can solve in a timely manner according to the solutions listed in following tables. Errors displayed in the EUROSONIC 2000 are divided into two categories: Table 1 is for circuit hardware errors displayed during self-diagnosis upon power on. * F may be displayed on the upper left corner of the screen after entering the measuring mode. When this occurs, it is necessary to power on for self-diagnosis once again to detect and solve possible errors by the following methods. If a problem still exists, please contact the manufacturer for assistance. Table 2 applies when errors are detected. The two categories can be displayed in M08. The problems and solutions are given in the following tables.

ERROR DIAGNOSIS
5.1 FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: New pipe, high quality material, and all installation requirements met: why is still no signal detected? A: Check pipe parameter settings, installation method and wiring connections. Confirm if the coupling compound is applied adequately, the pipe is full of liquid, transducer spacing agrees with the screen readings and the transducers are installed in right direction. Q: Old pipe with heavy scale inside, no signal or poor signal detected: how can it be resolved? A: 1. Check if the pipe is full of fluid. 2. Try the Z method for transducer installation. (If the pipe is too close to a wall, it is necessary to install the transducers on a vertical or inclined pipe with flow upwards instead of on a horizontal pipe). 3. Carefully select good pipe section and fully clean it, apply a wide band of coupling compound on each transducer face (bottom) and install the transducer properly. 4. Slowly and slightly move each transducer with respect to each other around the installation point until the maximum signal is detected. Be careful that the new installation location is free of scale inside the pipe and that the pipe is concentric (not distorted) so that the sound waves do not bounce outside of the proposed area. 5. For pipe with thick scale inside or outside, try to clean the scale off, if it is accessible from the inside. Note: Sometimes this method might not work and sound wave transmission is not possible because of the layer of scale between the transducers and pipe inside wall.
Q: Why is there no CL output? A: Open the electronics enclosure to inspect the hardware circuit. Check to see if the short-circuit terminal near terminal 3 is in place between 1-2, i.e., (Direct Output Mode at location 2-3, set CL output as Transmitter Mode with external power supply). Q: Why is the CL output is abnormal? A: 1. Check to see if the desired current output mode is set in M55. 2. Check to see if the maximum and minimum current values are set properly in M56 and M57. 3. Re-calibrate CL and verify it in M49. Q: Why is the flow rate still displayed as zero while there is fluid obviously inside the pipe and a symbol of R displayed on the screen? A: Check to see if Set Zero was carried out with fluid flowing inside the pipe (Refer to M42). If it is confirmed, recover the factory default in M43. Q: With a poor measurement site environment in the plant and the voltage and power supplies fluctuate widely, is the instrument really able to keep running 24 hours a day repeatedly without stopping and last for several years under such conditions? A: EUROSONIC 2000 flow meter is designed to work with high reliability under such conditions. It is provided with an intelligent signal conditioning circuit and calculation internally. It is suitable to work under strong interference conditions and is able to adjust itself with strong or weak sound waves. A voltage of EUROSONIC 2000 Fixed Ultrasonic Flow meter VER.7.50. 140-280V AC is required as well as 8V~36V DC voltage. Till now, no instruments have been discarded

due to errors. Q: The signal intensity for the new flow meter is low. Does it affect measurement result? A: Compared with Version 5, it is low. It is just the superficial phenomenon, and it is relevant and it will not affect measurement. In fact, the user will find that Q value is high, and the display is stable while the measurement is more accurate.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
6.4 PROTOCOL PREFIX USAGE 6.4.1 PREFIX P The prefix P can be added before any command in the above table to have the returning data followed with two bytes of CRC check sum, which is the adding sum of the original character string. Take the DI+(CR) command as an example. Assume that DI+(CR) would return +1234567E+0m3(CR)(LF) (the string in hexadecimal is 2BH, 31H, 32H, 33H, 34H, 35H, 36H, 37H, 45H, 2BH, 30H, 6DH, 33H, 20H, 0dH, 0AH), then PDI(CR) would return +1234567E+ 0m3!F7(CR)(LF). ! acts as the starter of check sum which is yielded by adding up the string 2BH, 31H, 32H, 33H, 34H, 35H, 36H, 37H, 45H, 2BH, 30H, 6DH, 33H, 20H. Please note that there will be SPACES (20H) before !.
6.4.4 COMMAND CONNECTOR & The & command connector can connect up to 6 basic commands to form a longer command so that it will make the programming much easier. For example, assume that the measurement of an instrument with IDN=4321 are going to be returned, and (then) all the following 3 values (1) flow rate (2) velocity (3) POS totalizer will be returned simultaneously. The combined command would be W4321DQD&DV&DI+(CR), and the result would be: +1.234567E+12m3/d(CR) +3.1235926E+00m/s(CR) +1234567E+0m3(CR)
6.4.2 PREFIX W The prefix W should be used in the network environment. The usage format is W + digit string which stands for the IDN + basic command. The digit string should have a value between 0 and 65534 except 13(0DH), 10 (0AH), 42(2AH,*), 38(26H, &). For example, if the IDN=12345 instrument is addressed and returning the velocity of that instrument is requested, the command will be W12345DV(CR).
6.4.3 PREFIX N The prefix N is a single byte IDN network prefix, not recommended in a new design. It is reserved only
